Entirely off topic and on a vastly different scale (local v national expense - although it is arguable since most of UMC/EPC patients are on medicare/medicaid or some form of government subsidy).

Vastly different is right, but each American will be paying many many times more for it forever. My question ws did you complain about the war too? of di you believe "Mission Accomplished"?

Well --- now there's a new CEO.

Hold on to your wallets everyone.

But what is a RIGHT is the right to own property and to own your own labor which means we should profit from our own labor. Now we don't own our property, we must keep paying enormous taxes for the false illusion that we can own it.

It's been hard to get this message through to the teabaggers, but "unconstitutional" isn't the same as "I don't like it" and people really do have a right to adequate medical care. Whether that jibes with your interpretation of the US Constitution or not, it's just a human thing.

And that's all I've got to say.

There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that allows the government to confiscate any or all of my property and/or income to redistribute to others who never worked for it. Nor to a free hospital -- free for some, not free for me.

I tried to rep you but have to spread it around a little.

Ahhh, SOCIALISM, the best way to spend OTHER people's money. Socialist in this country might want to take a peek at their fellow commarades in worker's paradise like China, they have totaly abandonded this idiotic ideollogy. Only 3rd rate countries like Venezuela still think it's goint to work (and it's not going to great down there).
